These were separate deals, right?

Yeah.

Wow.

Okay.

And even reading your paper, I hadn't really got to the depths of that.

So where we're at, if we take this down to absolute basics, is that throughout history, the person who had the power to

to create the currency, whatever the currency was, whether it was sesterces in Rome or UK pounds, at the point when it was no longer linked to actual physical metals, which were in limited supply, then the person who could generate the bits of paper or now the bits on a screen that had value was the person who controlled that value and had most of it.

And what it sounds like

is that the stable coins are an attempt to remove that control from the nation-state of the US and put it in the hands of our family and those in their orbit, which would make them god-emperors of whatever expanse

began to use that currency.

Because the US has been the most powerful nation on earth for a long time because it controlled issuance of the dollar.

And it could issue more dollars at any point when it felt like it, and thereby make itself richer.

It's just, you know, we make the money and we have as much money as we want.

And now a different political...

entity is striving to make money that may supplant the dollar, particularly if the dollar is undermined by the Chinese.

Let's leave that because we wanted to get onto the nation state and the network state.

So what we had, we have in the world nation states.

And I think it's worth going back to Hobbes' definition of a nation state is that geopolitical entity which gives itself a monopoly on the use of violence within certain geographic borders.

So the Americans can have ICE in Minnesota doing things that are utterly appalling.

And it says that's fine because we are the government.
